DITCH THE DRY HAIR: Redken All Soft Mega

Do you struggle with crazy, dry or damaged hair? As in one of those people who can use 5 bottles of conditioner before the shampoo bottle is even halfway finished? Yep, that’s me. I’ve used the expensive stuff. The cheap stuff. And the stuff in-between. I’ve gotten expensive deep conditioning treatments and I’ve tried the at-home DIY hair masks, too. And while some work briefly, my hair almost immediately reverts back to – DRY. It used to be blow my mind when friends would say they had to wash their hair every night or it would be oily by the next day… Say what? I shampoo my hair once a week – BUT – have to condition it nightly (if I actually want to get a brush through it).

So when a friend recommended REDKEN‘s new All Soft Mega to me I have to admit I was super skeptical. I had tried REDKEN’s products before and while they smelled amazing they just didn’t do a whole lot for my hair… And being that it’s a higher-end hair care product (with matching price tag) you want to see results. But, my sweet friend insisted that I would in fact love it and even gave me a few samples to try. Bless her heart because it was love at first lather.

So let me break down a little bit about each of the products I’ve used in the line and why I like them so much.

Let’s start with shampoo. I find with a lot of shampoos that it dries my hair out even more – which is one of the reasons I dread shampooing my hair at all! But with the Redken Mega Soft the shampoo felt conditioning in itself. My hair didn’t feel all dry and brittle when I was shampoo’ing and when I washed it out my hair almost felt like it had conditioned.

The conditioner is amazing. I can’t say enough about it. Not only did it eliminate the tangles (and made brushing a breeze) but it also seemed to heal the broken and split ends on my hair as well. I’m guessing that has a lot to do with the built-in protein complex in this blend.

And then we’ve got the Hydramelt. I put this in my hair to style my curls or before I blow out my hair. If you have curly hair it creates soft, loose “beach curls” and eliminates the frizz. And if you’re blowing out your hair it makes it shiny, smooth and soft. I also feel that because of the protein complex in the All Soft Mega line that it’s protecting my hair from any heat damage when I flat iron.
